Discover Your Family History

Welcome to Native Genealogy—I'm Jason Felihkatubbe (Choctaw), a researcher, educator, and storyteller dedicated to helping individuals reconnect with their family history. My passion for genealogy began with my own search for ancestral roots, and it has grown into a lifelong commitment to preserving stories, honoring traditions, and supporting others on their journey of discovery.

I approach genealogy with both curiosity and respect. Every family’s story is unique, and I believe research should reflect cultural understanding, historical context, and careful documentation. Whether exploring tribal records, census data, military files, or community histories, I work meticulously to ensure that each piece of information is accurate, meaningful, and grounded in the lived experiences of the people behind the records.

With a background in education, I bring patience, clarity, and a people-centered approach to every project. My goal is not just to uncover names and dates, but to help you understand the lives, challenges, and triumphs of those who came before you. Genealogy is more than research—it’s a way of honoring heritage and strengthening identity for future generations.

Through Native Genealogy, I am honored to help clients build family trees, interpret archival records, explore tribal connections, and uncover the stories that make families who they are today. Whether you are beginning your search or continuing an ongoing project, I look forward to working alongside you.

Every family has a story. Let’s discover yours together.
